Create A Healthy Relationship With Food with Elyse Resch

Elyse Resch is a nutrition therapist in private practice in Beverly Hills, California, with thirty-nine years of experience, specializing in eating disorders, Intuitive Eating, and Health at Every Size.

She is nationally known for her work in helping patients break free from diet culture through the Intuitive Eating process.

Elyse supervises and trains health professionals, is a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian and Supervisor, a Fellow of the International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals, and a Fellow of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.

Her philosophy embraces the goal of developing body liberation, with the belief that all bodies deserve dignity, and reconnecting with one’s internal wisdom about eating.

She is the co-author of Intuitive Eating, now in its 4th edition, the Intuitive Eating Workbook, and The Intuitive Eating Card Deck—50 Bite-Sized Ways to Make Peace with Food (upcoming, 2021).  Elyse is also the author of The Intuitive Eating Workbook for Teens and The Intuitive Eating Journal—Your Guided Journey for Nourishing a Healthy Relationship with Food (upcoming, 2021).

In this episode of the Fall In Love with Fitness podcast, Elyse and I discuss why we are so infatuated with diet culture in western society, why she began teaching intuitive eating and its benefits, and how food and exercise only makes up 20% of a healthy “diet.”
